Pies, Pies & More Pies

Pieminister, purveyors of posh pies, came down to stay last week for a couple of days of pie making, pie eating, pie photographing and pie ingredient foraging for their new cookery book on pies.

They've devised over 100 pie recipes for their book. I got involved with them to forage the ingredients for wild accompaniments for pies and for wild pie fillings. We made a totally delicious hare and alexanders pie and had a wild salad with their spring vegetable and ricotta pie and then some wild cabbage, sea beet & wild garlic with their winter lamb pie...

We ate a lot of pies over two days and had a really good laugh. Check them out. They are a Bristol based company selling 70,000 really nice pies a week! www.pieminister.co.uk. Their book is out in September: look out for the section on foraging! The photographer James Bowden www.jamesbowden.net took the photos above and for their book. We started on a roadkill pie of badger with apple and cider but it got lost amongst the myriad of pies that were made...I don't think anyone had the stomach for it.... but, it's now in the freezer awaiting some brave supper guests....

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks!

Howdy! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask. Does building a well-established blog such as yours take a large amount of work? I am completely new too running a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

Hi, I think your site might be having brrowser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon every day. It will always be interesting to read through content from other authors and use a little something froim their web sites.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell aand gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wanhts to go back! LoL I know this is entirdely off topic but I had to tell someone!
